The first listen through took a bit of an adjustment, I was expecting all-out bombastic Killers anthems, but this is not that. It’s a superbly introspective, self-indulgent look at the town Flowers grew up in. There are snippets of audio from inhabitants, giving their insight into what it’s like living there. They were fine the first couple of listens, I wonder if they would get annoying in the long-term.

I loved this! It’s so Killers right from the start - you dive right in and Flowers’ voice grabs you and doesn’t let you go. There are plenty of tunes on there, and whilst it all sounds like Killers songs, there’s nothing boring or repetitive about it. It’s all quite surreal and weird, and I think I need to pay closer attention to unravelling the lyrics when I listen next time, but I’m looking forward to it!

The Killers rocked their headline set at Glastonbury, so it was an easy pick to listen to one of their albums this week. And boy what an album. This has that amazing thing where there are multiple amazing songs next to each other and I just can’t believe that such greatness exists (tracks 2-5 obviously). But the whole thing works and stands the test of time.
